Q for a Brethren - all nighter on the Shirley!

[GSXR883]

I'm very lucky to have such a good friend and great pitmaster making the Q for the party. Now if he could only bring the sun with him later and get rid of the rain...

 

[GSXR883]

And don't worry Shagdog will at the least get some beer for doing this cook. Maybe some Icehouse Light. LOL hahahahahaha

I learned that a 40 pound tray of meat feels much heavier after 5 10% beers and some bourbon.

5 10% beers and some bourbon will turn some folks into Superman:biggrin1:

Congrats GSXR883 and good luck with the cook Shagdog!

 

[Shagdog]

Ha! It just makes you think you're superman!

Dennis, you are very welcome, but it's keystone light, come on! It's ok, I know you're not a beer guy.

Status report -

 

[GSXR883]

Looking great. Maybe we'll cancel the party due to rain and just have a BBQ fest with a few choosen friends

 

[Shagdog]

As long as the you have the hawks game on, I'm good. I will make the guest list, right?

Mighty fine work there Dog! Dennis, congrats to your daughter on her graduation.

I remember being broke and in my 20s before i could afford good beer they had 22s of icehouse and reddog for a buck. Id say i had fond memories of those days but thise memories are a bit fuzzy.

Congratulations to your grad, you must have done something right. You all enjoy the day now.

 

[Shagdog]

I drained a few red dogs and icehouse in my day for sure. I remember back then those were considered "strong" beers! Now you can get beer 2-3x as strong as that, and they don't taste like pee

I don't technically know what pee tastes like, but I'm assuming it's pretty close to icehouse

I remember the days of ripple wine in college- not all memories are good
Looking good so far You are a good friend

 

[Fwismoker]

I think some classic PBR's were in order. :tsk:

 

[GSXR883]

The Hawks game will be on and Shagdog you're always on the guest list. Depsite the cloudy weather it should be a good time with great Q and plenty of drink.
No kidding I will be bagging some briskie and hiding it the frig for later. I know we probably won't have too many or any leftovers. These guests don't know what they are in for with Shagdog's cooking. I am sure they will be blown away!
Also, thanks to everyone for the congrats.

Checked temps just to get a general idea of where we're at... Butts are at 180, briskets 160.. Butts are on top shelf under the stack so I would assume it's a bit hotter there. Anyways, I gave her the spurs and added an extra split, kicked it up from 280's to 315-325. Everything should be right on time..

I've never monitored temps on this thing before with the maverick. It's interesting. With that insulated box it's super responsive. Throw in a split, temp jumps within 2 minutes.

Did you catch a wink at any point? Or just spent time with Shirley all night? These threads are making me obsess over getting my order figured out and my down payment in.

 

[Shagdog]

Yea, I napped a bit. Add a big oak split, set my phone timer for 45 minutes, get up, add a split, nap for 45.. Did that from 2:45 - 7ish

That's good. At least you probably don't feel like a complete zombie at this point!

 

[Fwismoker]

Glad to see you on the home stretch!

 

[Shagdog]

Started running out of gas.. Time to refuel!

 

[Shagdog]

Briskets are still stalling in the low 170s. I flipped em to point up a bit ago



Butts are in the 190s and starting to probe like butta. Still a few pockets of resistance.
